Anti is back

First off, I am back from a much needed vacation OUT OF THE MID SOUTH.
I come back and see that the Bridges McRae incident has FINALLY hit. I know the tape looks extremely disturbing, but I will reserve judgement. I know from my experiences that sometimes a recording doesn't depict the TRUE and FULL circumstances surrounding something. If we take the tape at face value, then McRae needs to be terminated and charged on the State and Federal levels.
Now on to what Thud is putting out regarding his thread entitled "The police may lie...."

Question, where is there any indication that the police are lying about ANYTHING. The investigation isn't over, MPD, SCSO, and the FBI haven't released ANY details other than the tape being leaked. So, why is Thud eluding to that the police are lying. THE INVESTIGATION ISN'T OVER YET. It's the same old story of Thud's conspiracy theories about how the police are covering up something.

I have no doubt that McRae will wind up facing criminal charges and will be fired. The sad thing is that is is over a black transgendered prostitute who everyone knows is a worthless piece of garbage that Thud routinely stands up for. Truth be known, Thud is probably his biggest customer. (No pun intended)


"> It seems as though the Shelby County Sheriff's Department is more concerned about who leaked the beating tape of Duanna Johnson to her lawyers then they are about the treatment she received at the jail. The Sheriff's office states that only one tape was copied for the City of Memphis Police Department, so an internal investigation has been started to find out how the tape was released.
But what makes the Sheriff's department think that only one tape was copied? Knowing a little bit about how information is leaked out of 201 Poplar,I'm very sure that steps were taken to cover and to confuse those who may be more concerned about a tape then the brutal beating of a human being. When the dust settles the investigation will lead no where.
But the question must be asked if the tape had not been leaked would this community have ever known about this incident and that there are brutal officers riding the streets of Memphis capable of such inhumane treatment of citizens. Given the lifestyle of Duanna Johnson with out the tape she would not have been taken seriously and would have become a laughing stock for just suggesting that a police officer had beaten her so brutally. But the tape proves beyond a shadow of doubt that excessive force was used while others entrusted to "Protect and Serve" just watched.
Johnson stated today on my radio show that Bridges McRae while standing at the fingerprint desk yelled out "Faggot get over here" Johnson states she did not move because she was not called by her name. The tape clearly shows the officer going over to where she was sitting attempting to grab her while Johnson states he's calling her a He/She. It can be seen that the officer strikes her over and over again while having a pair of handcuffs wrapped around his hand. Johnson is also maced while other officers stand by and watch. The officers partner James Swain even holds the arm of Johnson so that McRae can get more blows in. When the entire tape is viewed a nurse can be seen very briefly looking at the back of Johnson's head but never seeking to aid her. But can be seen attending to McRae
Johnson feels as though the attack on her was due to her being an transgendered female which makes the act against her a Hate crime. The officer should also face criminal charges for the brutal beating with a deadly weapon. His statement that Johnson threaten him and told him that she was going to shot him in the head is totally stupid,where since she was in jail was she supposed to get a gun?
ITS TIME FOR WILLIE HERENTON TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE SAME ZEAL AS HE HAD OF TAKING CONTROL OF MEMPHIS CITY SCHOOLS.
